6. Phase 2 Implementing additional disciplinary portals
Step 1: identify pedagogic methods of high interest Pedagogic Modules (start small 1-2)
Step 2: contact us
Step 3: create a set of examples that use MERLOT resources with these methods
Activity Submission Form
Step 4: make links from community Teaching and Resource portals (see for example MERLOT Biology
Growing the example collections

7. Growing the example collections: Getting to 100
Strategies
Write them yourself
Solicit from disciplinary community
Target previous assignment authors
Targeted invitations to meet identified need
Workshop process
MERLOT meeting

15. MERLOT/SERC Partnership
MERLOT contains links to thousands of educational websites, many with peer reviews and assignments.
SERC brings a significant collection of geoscience content with a well defined pedagogic format, focusing on the use of individual activities in the classroom.
Partnering MERLOT and SERC builds on the strengths of both programs.
